Aerosmith rocks Allston

Boston-area fans were treated to a free Aerosmith concert Nov. 5 at 1325 Commonwealth Ave., the band’s first apartment building in the city, where they lived from 1970-1972. The “Bad Boys from Boston” performed a six-song set list, including classics like “Back in the Saddle,” “Walk this Way,” and “Sweet Emotion.”

Aerosmith members imprinted their hands in cement outside of the TD Garden after the concert. The blocks will be transported to Allston and inserted in the sidewalk in front of the band’s former residence at 1325 Comm. Ave.

Crysta Fuller of Westfield said that the hat she was wearing had been worn by Steven Tyler. “ I threw it up to Steven Tyler and he put it on and sang ‘Dream On’ and then threw it back into the crowd,” Fuller explained. “It’s my prize possession. I love them so much.”
